Took a $500 online course on 'personal branding' for my business and it completely backfired.

The $30 bathroom faucet that needs three hands to operate

I bought this modern looking faucet for my guest bathroom remodel, thinking the single lever was sleek. It cost about thirty bucks. The problem is the lever is directly under the spout, so you get your hand soaked turning it on. You have to hold the lever up with one hand while washing the other, or just accept wet sleeves. I installed it six months ago and guests still complain. Has anyone found a good looking faucet that doesn't have this dumb design flaw?

My new coat uses polyester fill, not down

Everyone acts like down is the only way to stay warm. My synthetic version is just as cozy. And it handles machine washing way better.

Just read the trail log at the Desolation Wilderness permit office. Only 18 people got walk-up permits for the Lake Aloha loop last Saturday.

Does everything cool now require a reservation?

Our book club's whole schedule fell apart after we picked 'Infinite Jest'

Pick something shorter next time to get the group back on track. We switched to short stories for a month after our own 'Infinite Jest' disaster. It helped everyone remember that reading is supposed to be fun.

Trusted a buddy's primer recommendation and now my blend is blotchy.

Actually, the primer isn't the main issue for the color match. That's all in the base coat.

Tried a new way to set posts in wet ground and it backfired

Yeah that's a classic case of the internet making things look easier than they are lol. It's like when a recipe says "just mix these three things" but leaves out the part where you need to chill the dough for hours. For your fence, you're probably stuck digging it out and using that quick-set stuff, which is a huge pain.

Someone on here told me my 12 mile a day plan for the Wind River Range was 'a great way to hate backpacking' and they were right.

Scale back your mileage and actually enjoy the scenery.
